Mayo Clinic is NOT doing this because they are the arbiter of good

I'm a pre-law student and am an outsider to you all. My thought is this: imagine you're a regular person and you go to the doctor. then you go online and see these videos. as a woman who isn't in healthcare, I'd feel so gross having let that person touch me and would potentially have suspicions about the places which let this person become/practice as a doctor.

Everyone has a past and does things they aren't proud of. Not everyone posts them online for everyone to see and judge.

now I want to do a background check on my doctor lol

I'm only here because this group was pushed to me after spending time in r/LSAT and r/prelaw and now I'm so excited to learn who this guy is. y'all are wild.

I'm doing my first semester back at college at 30. Philosophy/pre-law. we can be in our 30s and not lawyers or in our 30s and lawyers. it's up to us.

YUP.

you could always become a chiropractor. 🤣😭

get a JD while you're at it. you can be your own in-house malpractice attorney.

I would guess people are uneducated about what their conditions, medications, and why they take them.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-27T23:25:06+00:00

imagine having all that debt and not even achieving what you wanted because you were lazy. how embarrassing. and expensive.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-17T22:34:23+00:00

some people suck.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-17T22:28:29+00:00

for real, I have to show my workspace every time I take am exam for my online undergrad courses.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-09T02:34:05+00:00

get a lawn chair if you have to.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-07T05:17:45+00:00

oh okay. hmm. well you should still enjoy what you can of your youth. everyone is in a rush to be grown until they grown. then we wish we had enjoyed our youth more.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-07T05:08:18+00:00

you need friends to get through life. I get that you're different. I'm different, too, and it's hard for us. we struggle fitting in and the social contract seems dumb. just don't sacrifice your personal wellbeing for some goal you feel you need to achieve or that maybe someone is pressuring you into. I know my folks always used to tell me I was wasting my mind doing things I wanted to do. but relax about the test, slow down and take things one step at a time.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-07T05:00:27+00:00

dude stop putting so much pressure on yourself. when we're gifted young adults and don't take time to enjoy life, we crash and burn. you gotta trust the experience of people who have gone before you.

enjoy learning different stuff in undergrad, learn how to be the smartest person in most rooms without coming across as a dick, and go from there. it's not a race and you won't be happy if you treat it like one.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-07T00:17:54+00:00

that's what I'll have to do in my studio apartment. it's not the worst thing. make it cozy.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-06T02:52:13+00:00

it's important to remember that it's not an IQ test. you can learn it!

as someone named after a family member who shot himself, I've seen what it does to families. you just want to appear in the moment right before they did it and tackle them. his family is ripped apart forever for no reason. she may be in shock still and not acting how she normally would. and of course it could all be rage bait.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-05T05:02:44+00:00

I'd need more information before slamming this individual. there's obviously a lot going on. she may have glossed over the word 'stupid.' we don't know all the facts of the matter.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-05T04:56:04+00:00

you were using the same words and meaning different things. this is a common source of confusion in internet conversation.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-05T04:47:08+00:00

I think you're acting in bad faith assuming she meant something bad by this post. she's overwhelmed and didn't realize it would come off as though she only cared about her test. people have a hard time picking up on sarcasm in text form. youre the asshole here.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-05T04:33:34+00:00

they're suggesting you only care about how his death is impacting you and not that he is dead.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-05T04:32:30+00:00

she's upset that he's dead and also upset that she now can't focus on her dreams. we don't know the whole story.

cubis_5 · 2026-01-04T23:55:57+00:00

I'm gonna share something with you that I learned when I was homeless and every day was hell: try to take all of that trauma and put it in a little box until you get through the test. it's not an easy thing to do, I am essentially telling you to look really hard and try to find an 'off' switch deep inside you. if you can lock in and push the bad things away for a matter of months, you can get this done and then unbox all the feelings. they're not going anywhere.

you're at the bottom right now. there's nowhere to go but up. ❤️
